I am always in the market for books on
helping my author clients in promoting their books. The Frugal Book Promoter is
one of those books that I bought. What I like about this book is the easy
format; table of contents; easy to find categories; how-to’s and much more.
I love the word “frugally” because that
in itself is what I am. I don’t have the big bucks to buy ads or other marketing
strategies. I like giving my authors reliable information and tactics without
them having to pay high dollar for it.
I was interested in the social
marketing and blog marketing and “The Frugal Book Promoter” was there to help.
Since I have never done a “book tour” before, it was easy to read and follow. I
had my first book tour in March.
There are many interesting
subjects:
Amazon - How to set up your books and
much more;
Blogs;
Book launches;
Book tours;
Contests;
E-mail marketing;
Resources and Reviews;
And don’t forget “writing”
Anything from A-Z. She has researched
and used her methods and it shows.
There are many quotes and anecdotes from other authors and writers.
If you want your book promotions to go easier, I would recommend her books.
I have them all and will use them over-and-over.
